Pulse 3 (2008)
3.5/4
“As the closing chapter to a three-act story regarding humanity's over-reliance on cyberspace, "Pulse 3" is the campy classic we crave but don't deserve.” –

3.5/4
“Because both Fleck and his followers suffer from genuine social and economic injustices, the movie shows a willful determination from all parties (led by Gaga's firecracker Quinzel) to embrace Fleck's delusion a la folie à deux.” –

“As "The Apprentice" correctly shows, Cohn molded Trump into the man he is today throughout the 1970s and 1980s, with his fingerprints all over his protege decades later.” –

“... scientific and historical accuracy are key. Fortunately for fans of both, "Oppenheimer" delivers in telling the truth about the story of the Manhattan Project, at least as much as can be expected of a Hollywood blockbuster.” –

“Although the acting is top notch, the rest of "The Core" is too cliché and bloated to be enjoyable... the bigger problem with "The Core" is that the information that it presents to audiences as legitimate science is, quite simply, bunk.” –
